Garden Design and Landscape Design

dry river bed planting

25 June 2018

When clients decided they would like to review an existing water feature, we came up with the idea of a dry river bed, referencing the previous existence of the water, but introducing a completely new element into the garden, with lots of textural interest from the beautiful boulders and pebbles in different sizes. Contractor Guy Jones of Emotive Landscapes did a lovely job of arranging the stones in a naturalistic fashion to our design, having studied similar landscapes in Japan, so this was a great collaboration. My appreciative client has just emailed me these two lovely photos. The planting has only been in for a couple of months but already starting to look richly colourful and varied.
